Greetings All,

I can’t believe July 2008 almost over, time pass so fast!! Half of the year is already gone, 2009 is just right in the corner, think about that – scare!

If you read last week MBA Digest, you probably still remembered I shared with you about one of the most widely used open source CMS Joomla, a one-stop solution for beginners, intermediates, experts and clients.

I know Joomla is a powerful CMS, and I have been thinking of some time already to install one for my personal blog. The other day after I saw this great package is on sell, I bought it immediately.

Then I register a domain, follow the instruction that come with the package – set up the SQL database, finished the configuration, and upload one of the Joomla theme files to my server.

Unfortunately, I got bit problem after finished the pre-installation, when I try to login from the back office of the site, the login name and password did not match. After I tried few times it still didn’t work, to save time, I decided to ask for help from creators Ritoban, he is very helpful and replies my email fast and helps me sort out the problem

Okay, here is my blog site: www.annliublog.com. This is my personal blog, so I will make it more ‘Me’ instead of business like. In the other words, you are going to learn more about me in this website, please stop by drop me some notes and let me know how do you think about it.

Beside that, I have posted Affsphere Article Syndication Rise Your SERP Position that helps you to achieve highly targeted traffic to your websites or blogs.

And I also posted this Webmedia Toolkit, a really cool collection of photos, icons, clip-art, fonts, graphics, music and all sorts of cool stuff for webmasters like you to use. The package will help you become the authority in your niche faster.

Since the Internet began to gain popularity, enterprising Internet users have found ways to make money online. As you know one of the best and easiest ways to make money online is by writing one or more blogs.

Blog writers post a new blog every day or few times a week. They write about things that relate to a particular topic. Some blogs are about a person’s own life (like the one I just set up few days ago) while other blogs are on a specific topic like politics, sports, dieting, or entertainment. There are literally hundreds – and probably thousands – of blog topics on the Internet right now.

Writing a blog can be a lot of fun depending on whether you like to write or not. However, regardless of that, you still can get a lot of benefits from blogging. Writing a blog can establish you as an expert in a niche and it will ultimately lead to your success.

Speaking of which content management system to use for your blog, many people prefer WordPress among the other platform because there are more things blog operators can do with it.

However, some people believe Blogger is easier to use. The one good thing about Blogger is that it is runs by Google so you can automatically place Google ads on your blog to make some instant money.

However, if you prefer WordPress, to make your blogging process simple, to get great search engine rankings and free traffic from your blog posts and making money from it, this is the video you have to watch. It is free and you can find lots of good blogging tips from there.

Okay, that’s all for this week.

Happy blogging – till next time

Cheers
Ann
